Roger battles into final

18.02.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger had to go through a thrilling battle against Nikolay Davydenko today to beat the Russian 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and book a spot in the Rotterdam final.

Roger had a rough start and looked on the brink in the final set as Davydenko first gave away a 3-1 lead and Roger then had to fight off 3 more break points. Luckily for Roger, it was not Davydenko's day in terms of seizing opportunities, and Roger came back to break to love and then serve out for a place in the final against Juan Martin del Potro on Sunday.

That was not your best match, Roger, for sure. However, you eventually managed to find your best and with few great points you could go through it to the final. Congrats for that! Davis Cup was highly disappointing, but you've proved somehow to play better and better day after day.
It's Del Potro again today. He's playing superbly this week so you'll nees to play at your very best to beat him. Nevertheless, I believe in you. Final 101 in the chase of your 71st title. Why not? Come on Roger.

wow you had me on the edge of my seat I was yelling and shouting at you to win these break points as there were so many of them.
Please be more focused today and get there and win love you Helen xxxxxxxxx
